The next six short films I am going to make will be:
-One of the trees along The Queens walk
-One by car from the other side of the river
-One by bicycle along the floor level of The South Bank
-One by train, route yet to be decided
-One of the approach to The South Bank, from Waterloo passing under the railway arches and along the steps besides Royal Festival Hall
-One leaving The South Bank or one travelling past by boat.

How can the lighting from the film be used to sculpt or develop new space?

I will take stills from the films, I will need them in sets of 30 so every few frames I will take a still. These will then be printed out all in the same size. I will have sheets of acetate that I will mark on where the points of light are using the print outs. Then I will puncture a hole where the centre of the light point is. The hole will be just big enough for a needle and thread to fit through. Then I will need to assemble the acetate to a card base. The base will be scored evenly so that the acetate can slide into it. Then I will thread cotton through the holes following the journey of the light. This could start to sculpt new spaces which have been generated by my films and become physical 3D models of the speculative space. 

I will then need to bring the space that has been created and the films back together. The film would start off with one of the recordings made, then the film would fade and we would start to see this space being built from lines. It would keep switching between the films of the existing space and the new spaces that are being built.
